We've been eating genetically modified (GM) vegetables for years so I don't really have a problem with eating GM fish. These alarmists that make a big deal out of it are the same people that say it's also dangerous to irradiate food. Of course, people have been irradiating food ever since the discovery of fire (infrared).

Paul Lukacs is a blogger who does business in China all the time. Recently on a return trip from China he refused to answer any of the silly "business or pleasure" questions which resulted in blowing the mind of the Customs Agent that was asking him the questions. They detained him for 30 minutes while they tried to come up with something to charge him with but ultimately let him go. In the comments section of his original post, lots and lots of people called him a douchebag (which he is) but a lot also commended him for standing up for his constitutional rights of privacy (for which he SHOULD be commended).

I am gonna tip my hand here and announce that I will probably be voting every incumbent out of office this year. That said, if I lived the the 36th Congressional district in California, I would be voting for Mattie Fein because incumbent, Jane Harman, is apparently the girlfriend of Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

So...those repressed childhood memories of the priest molesting you in the confessional? Yeah, you made them up (or your psychologist did). Turns out that traumatic events like being sexually assaulted are actually made STRONGER by the trauma, rather than the folklore idea of them being buried. It makes sense. Some of my strongest memories are the worst memories from my past: first time I was beaten up, when my ex cheated on me, the time Bailey almost died, etc.

So where do those memories come from? Most likely crazy people looking for sympathy or inept psychologists.

Chinese authorities are throwing a fit with people named Shan because it contains a rare Chinese character that doesn't exist in most word processors. As a result, they are forcing them to change their names.
